New Kapamilya actor Aljur Abrenica is joining the cast of the primetime series FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, and guess what role he is going to play.
The series’ lead star, Coco Martin, made the announcement on his Instagram page on Wednesday. Posting a photo of Aljur, Coco wrote: “Siya si Miguel. Abangan si @ajabrenica sa ‘FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano!’ Malapit na!”
Aljur confirmed his being a Kapamilya also on Instagram where he thanked ABS-CBN head of TV production Laurenti Dyogi, Dreamscape production head Deo Endrinal and ABS-CBN chief operating officer Cory Vidanes.
The actor also said he was “starstruck” as he took a selfie with It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda.
In 2014, however, Aljur filed for the nullification of his contract with GMA Network due to the latter’s alleged mishandling of his career. However, both parties were able to somehow fix the dispute. The actor was again given new projects after their severed ties until his contract ended in March this year, the same time when news broke out that his fiancee Kylie Padilla was pregnant with their first child.
Aljur was once among GMA 7’s sought-after leading men. After emerging as the “ultimate survivors” in Starstruck in 2007, he continued on to star in top-rating shows including Machete, The Last Prince, Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan, which all made him the next big thing in the Kapuso Network.
